TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here, [1048] - this we have had before. As we find, the general physical conditions of the body are much bettered than when we had them before. While there are some conditions apparent that are of recurrent nature, these have as much basis for the retractions from the mental attitude of the body as from other sources. Would there be those general precautions that have been outlined, with those necessary additions of elements to make for a better coordination and vibration of the system in specific instances when any of these conditions or disturbances arise, using those same that have been outlined, we would find we would keep an even balance for the body in the general ways and manners.
2. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) What medicine would be prescribed as most helpful for keeping the channels of elimination open?
   (A) In the matter of the diet, as well as in the general activities of the system, are the best to be gradually worked towards; that there are those conditions that at times arise when the peristaltic movements of the digestive and eliminating systems through the alimentary canal, is evidenced by the accumulations that form from improper fermentation. This in part from the improper consideration in the diet, and of those tendencies that have existed in the digestive and eliminating system in this disorder in times past.
   Then, we will find that these, when disturbances arise, would be well to be altered in this manner:
   First we would take either the Phenolax or those that carry more of phenolphthalein, and the like. Then the next day immediately following, one to two tablespoonful Milk of Bismuth. Then skip two or three days. Then proceed again. This will TONE the system, and the activities-physical and the manner of the diet will keep FOR the system that general building towards normal activity.
4. (Q) Should there be any change in the diet as outlined before?
   (A) We would not alter same, save that when there is the feeling and tendency of acidity - or of ashy taste to the mouth, or cold or congestion, then increase the amount either of the roughage or of those in the form of laxative vegetable foods - see?
5. (Q) Doctors whom I have consulted in the present have said that a support for the stomach was not necessary during the osteopathic treatments. Is such a support absolutely necessary?
   (A) Depends upon what is called absolute! In the position, as has been given, there should be! As common SENSE would give, it would be BETTER! Of course, it isn't necessary if you don't want to do it - but you can bear the consequences, as you can with anything else!
6. (Q) Would it be wise for me to have an operation to remove tonsils?
   (A) Not if the osteopathic treatments as respecting those conditions would be given properly! and he [Martyn L. Richardson, D.O. - see 1048-3, Par. R3.] can remove 'em himself!
7. (Q) What means are best for me to use to discover how I may keep the physical and mental forces in a condition which will permit the highest development of the spiritual forces?
   (A) Keep that attunement in which the body-physical, imaginative, AND spiritual, can visualize for each part of that that DEVELOPS in the body BEFORE the mental, spiritual and imaginative forces of the body. Few people are able in the beginning to be as generally imaginative as the body! Hence the body should be able, with a little visualization of that as is DESIRED by the self, to create for itself that atmosphere, that environ, for THAT being acted upon! This requires the necessary knowledge of the body, of the mind, of that as is desired by the body. Then WITH that knowledge and the proper visualization, the UNDERSTANDING comes. Knowledge is not power unless it is that that may be applied by the body HAVING the knowledge - see? Then, as for the body in visualizing itself in that that may bring about the proper coordination of eliminations in the system, do not consider the alimentary canal as the only elimination of the system; for almost as much is eliminated from the system through the respiratory system (of poisons) as through the alimentary canal. This is rather (through alimentary canal) as of the drosses, than the poisons. Also by the eliminations of the perspiratory, or the lymph and capillary circulation, as well as through the kidneys, as well as through the general activities of the body. Then, see these functioning in such a manner as to bring about that desired, or see that taking place which is desired by the body. In circulation (This as a vision for the body, of that which is asked concerning) of the blood supply through throat, head and neck, passes through those affected portions in the throat or tonsils. The BLOOD is carried immediately from these to those portions of the system where eliminations must take place. How often does the blood pass through the lungs? Every time that it must be clarified, or must receive that to create in the system that of a healing or eliminating force, as well as its clarification through the liver itself. The liver does not take other than that that may be acted upon by its secretions. The lungs take that that will act upon same to heal, and make for absorption OR elimination in its various manners. Then, see that being accomplished, as the heart pumps the blood THROUGH the throat, the lungs, the liver, the heart, to the extremities, to those parts affected, and you can feel the pulsation - see - as in this body through which the information comes; the increase of the circulation to this may be seen to the throat itself!
8. (Q) Should osteopathic treatments be continued? If so, how often?
   (A) With the adjustments that have been made (which are fairly well aligned), the electrically driven vibrations - if applied in any reasonable manner - would be as effective. Then once a month, or once in two months, or three months, have a general treatment osteopathically. Save money and save yourself too!
9. (Q) How often should these be taken (the vibrator treatments)?
   (A) Depends on how much exercise the body is going to take in the open! Once a day, or twice a day if necessary - morning and evening, to keep the body feeling fit, and to keep away from that tired, draggy feeling.
10. We are through for the present.
